I stumbled across it a couple of weeks ago and I tip my Jameson glass to you, Sir. I now want to burn everything in sight. I have even resurrected a wooden stool that had been sitting on my back porch for two years using this method. Cleanse it with fire! Anywho.... Thanks for the goofy dad approach.

      I have not. I'd be concerned about all of those edges that are to be tightly joined. The burn would pull those joints apart. Check out how the seams show back up when I laminated 2X4s together in this build.

    I just finished up a big job burning and dyeing 17 tables red. I sanded them to 220 first before burning and when they were done they had a metallic like finish. I couldn’t tell from the video if your non sanded boards looked like that as well. Also, to help reduce cupping and twist I burnt the bottom of the tables as well, not as deep though.

    • @BuildDadBuild

      I did not add Halcyon on top of the Simple Finish. The SF does a pretty good job by itself. However if you're making a table that is going to see a lot of traffic you'll probably have to reapply the finish every so often (like you would with any sort of oil finish.

    The dyes are water based, so if you are using a water based top coat, it will definitely pull some up into the brush. Another option would be to use a spray finish to put a 1st coat on, then use a brush for the following ones. I just did that to some crosses I did, that I applied a water based whitewash too.

    2 Questions: You mentioned "spraying" the wood while you burn it to prevent cupping/warping. What do you mean by spraying it (with what)? Also, the bristle drill bit you used to scrape out the char... what brand is that one? it looks like it has 1"-2" of surface coverage. The one I have is very narrow (maybe 1/2"), so it takes ages to sand down my boards. Thanks for the great video!

    After the burning and dyeing will these pieces be suitable for use with benches, picnic tables, etc. In other words, will the stain or charred area rub off on clothing or skin. Or will be topcoats seal the wood from causing that?

    I have two questions. First, do you ever sand after the dye to flatten the grain that lifted from staining and how does it look? Second, I don't know where you are from but, I was wondering how the boat varnish you use would hold up in 100 degrees direct sunlight in the desert? Alot I have tried don't do well in the desert.

    • @BuildDadBuild
      @BuildDadBuild  Před 2 lety

      I don't sand after the dye because I want the texture.
      I live in Houston. Like the desert only with 100% humidity! LOL
      It holds up better than most other products. However, in order to get good UV resistance you need 6-7 coats. The good part is that's totally doable in a day because you only need an hour between coats.

    • @BuildDadBuild

      I get this question a lot.
      The short answer is yes. However, unless you're doing it to a very small piece you'd need to use quite a bit of dye and I don't know how long you'd have to let it sit in there. If you used a pressure pot it might make it quicker?

    Red dye for sure, but that’s a preference thing. I think the wood accepts the red dye best and it’s the least blotchy. One question on that Halcyon varnish; when it’s totally cured on that pine, can you dent it with your fingernail? I’ve been using wipe-on poly to get away from the stink of lacquer but it’s still not as durable as I’d like it to be, even after multiple coats and plenty of cure time. Thanks in advance!

      You've got 2 options. Probably more! LOL
      1 - Do a lighter burn and skip the brush. You can still get the dark and light contrast with a lighter burn. You just don't get the texture.
      2 - You could do an epoxy top coat and that would fill in the texture.

    Trying to find this Folk Art dye...all links lead to out of stocks on Amazon. And this stuff is expensive! I'm finding 8 oz cans from other retailers for prices ranging from $14.12 - $34.10. Such a price range for the same amount....8 oz! I love the stuff but it's four times the price as Varathane tintable base. Do you dilute the dye at all? That would certainly make it go farther and justify the higher price

      That might work on smaller pieces...but as they got bigger you'd need a pretty big vacuum pot. Not to mention how time consuming that would be.
